Here are some statistics on breast cancer:

	Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women.
	The most proven and significant risk factors for getting breast cancer are being female and getting older.
	An estimated 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S. during 2008.
	An estimated 1,990 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in the U.S. during 2008.
	An estimated 40,480 women and 450 men will die from breast cancer in the U.S. during 2008.
	In the U.S., a woman has a 1 in 8 (12 percent) risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.
	One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes, and one woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes in the U.S.
	The five-year survival rate for breast cancer, when caught early before it spreads beyond the breast, is now 98 percent (compared to 74 percent in 1982).
	Approximately 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are due to heredity. The majority of women with breast cancer have no known significant family history or other known risk factors.
	A woman’s chance of developing breast cancer increases with age. Approximately 95 percent of all breast cancers occur in women 40 years of age and older.
	Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths among women.
	The chance of a woman dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 33 (3 percent).
	African Americans have the highest death rate from breast cancer of any racial/ethnic group in the U.S.
	In the United States today, there are nearly 2.5 million breast cancer survivors – the largest group of cancer survivors in the country.
